American Beauty

This is one o fthose movies, like Fight CLub, that always makes me feel a little more free after viewing it. Even if you hate everything else about it, you have to admire Lester for getting his balls and finally being happy by the end of it all.


I have had freinds that found it depressing and compared themselves to him in a negative way, but i have always felt like he won in the end. My life is nothing like that, i have a good marriage (i do hate my pathetic, soul-sucking job....), but it makes me feel okay to tell people to eat shit if i dont agree with them :)

If by winning you mean getting his head ventilated, then yeah, he won big time.

If I was a dude, I'd have hit that shit. At least then he would have died AFTER having some sex with a hot as chick. It was a very good movie though!;) :)

yeah, he found peace .. you have to be glad for that ..
but it was fleeting.

better to die that way then to die when still in emotional turmoil in guess ..


otherwise it'd have been the American Grudge ..

dont go in the garage !!!!

It was pretty cool how he stood up to his wife and started smoking the ganja and bought a tight ass car. I to wish he hadn't of died. You have to appreciate the irony in the film though. Who would have thought that army man would have been the one to shoot him? Ironic man, ironic.
